December 17, 2019


Today, I'd like to entertain you with a merry Yule tune I wrote for our kinship band, the Brandy Badgers. They had Mike Oldfield's version of In Dulci Jubilo in their songpack, and I wanted to write Yule lyrics to it that would fit our wassailing events in Winterhome. This year, we will go wassailing on Sunday, December 29, on the Laurelin server. Join us if you want to dance to some Yule music and have fun the hobbity way! Oh, and bring berries!

Merry Berry Yule

Yule's time for badgering, Winterhome wassailing
Fillin' hearts with joy and cheer
All come dance and drink some beer
Music's streaming in the air
Badgers make it very clear:
Every Badger Yule is a merry berry Yule

Let us toot and bang the drum
Give you some hum de dum
Squeak and hop and strum along
Come and join our Yuleish song
Dance until your feet are done
Have grand Badger fun, because
Every songful Yule is a merry berry Yule

Join us, whether young or old
Sway until you feel no cold
See which drinks are being sold
Kegs and flasks are being rolled
Mulled wine may make you bold
Drink some more, lo and behold
Every carefree Yule is a merry berry Yule

It is time to munch and eat
Every day needs seven meals
Forget all dishwashing deeds
Enjoy tasty bread and cheese
Berries are what a badger needs
Join this special Yuletide feast
Every tummy full makes a merry berry Yule

We use funny instruments
Squealing gorns and pea shooters
Brandy drops from clarinets
Let's blow off spider webs
With untamed pipe quintets
The drummers give all their best
Every noisy Yule is a merry berry Yule!

Ooh...
A songful Yule is a merry berry Yule!
Ooh...
A tummy full makes a merry berry Yule!
Ooh...
A carefree Yule is a merry berry Yule!

Music is our gift for you
Can't escape the merry mood
Feel like you're a badger too
Say goodbye to solitude
Yule had never felt this good
It is widely understood that
Every Badger Yule is a merry berry Yule

Ooh...
This is our Yuletide song
Feel free to hum along
Music is the strongest bond
Between friends in all the world
Every Badger Yule is a merry berry Yule
